WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1911. ‘bill minor caught. Speaking cf strange coincidences, Mr. Smith, of the Southern Express Compan.v. had just provided The News with a photograuh and story of Bill Minor about ten days ago. We had planned to run ^ big feature in last Sunday’s paper, the idea being to help In advpr’^^ising Bill, so that should he ever pa?s this neck of the woods the authorities would have no difficulty in recognizing him. The story was in r int, and the cut rolled in Saturday afternoon—at the identical time that a dispatch came from Georgia, saying that Bill had been caught; Had the cut been Cnished a few days sooner we might have boasted that we aided in the capture, but, as it is, we are left hi;rh and dry, with a dead feature ctnry on hand. Bill Minor—lest acme one should not recognize the magic name—is supposed ^o be one of the smoothest crooks that ever “picked a purse, scuttled a ship o." slit a girt,” Train robbing wa3 1 is specialty, but at times his criminal propensities led him along other high ways of vice. Some one says he is wanted in Colorado for murder, but ■ j do not know whether this report is true. At any rate it was Bill who was supposed to b« the “moving spirit ’ in the wreck of train thirty-six, several months ago. Charlotte readers will remember that wreck for The News had an elaborate extra on the streets telling of it early on the morning that it happened. Bill Is as sly as a fox, and ha» b^tn remarkably successful In breaking out of prisons. He is reported to have scaled a penitentiary waif once which had been pronounced insurmountable. A closo watch had best be kept on William, or the performance may be repeated. CHURCH V/ORK PROGRESSING. Reports for one year's work show that the Laymen’s Missionary Move ment has resulted in a pronounced quickening of interest among Chris tians in all denominations. It is esti mated that religious churches in Amer ica, "11 told, gave 1325,000,000 last year. The amount given to foreign missions by Protestant churches in America and Canada amounted, last year, to $11,000,000, which i& an in crease over the preceding year of |1,- 000,000. The aggregate sum given to home missions was $40,000,000, ■which total also represents a substantial gain over that of previous years. As a di rect result of the conventions and mis- •lonary rallie» held by leaders of the Laymen’* Movement throughout the fwratry a deeper interest has been tak- •n In all branches of evangelical work, and donations to all Christian causes have greatly Increased, as the follow ing statlBtiCB will show: \ the country present. Statistics ihow that church membership roll* Include names of far more women and girls than of men, the latter list being short some three million. The aim ot the Forward Movement is to interest thes-a men in the Cause of Christianity and each church has its ow’n work to do. The Greensboro Record is ratlier dis gusted at the display of politics in the recent meeting of aldermen here, and very pertinently remarks: ‘‘Charlotte’s aldermen ought to quit it and be men. The spectacle at a meetiuR last night waa worse than a town of 200 people. The mayor had to order the doors locked in order to keep a quorum to elect an alderman to fill a vacancy. One faction has teen breaking a quorum for weeks. Folitics. nothing but politics, and cheap politics at that: Such a thing is a disgrace.” Painful as the admission is, w-e must Fay that you are nearer right than wTong, contemporary, although w© are a hopin’ that this is the last appear ance of the germ political for a space. The Prodigal Judge will be present ed in daily installments in The News, the first installment appearing today. Here indeed isr a story which 've rec- ouimeud without hesitation. In oui liuinble judgment this is one of the very bes-t novels produced in a number of years. It is true to the life of the limes presented; there is enough of mystery about tho plot to keep the interest edged to the highest point, and the story is well told, which is the best of it. It is an elegant romance, one which really leaves a good taste in the mouth, whicb is not always true, also, in this day of many novels. The republican machine failed for a second time to defeat Governor Foss o^ Massachusetts. “Or Kentuck” has returnfd to the democratic fold. Dr. Wu has broken the long silence SOUTH ADVERTISED AT LAND EXPOSITION Statesville News Department Special to The News. Statesville, Nov. 8.—Miss Naomi Elam, aged about 16 years, died Sat- urdaj' evening at the home of hei parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Elam, in the County Line community>and 'was buried Sunday at Society cburcb. Miss Elam was a niece of Mr, R. W. Elam, of Statesville, and was known here. She was a sister of the Mr. Elam who recently died of typhoid fever in Greensboro and the same disease caused her death. Another brotlier is critically ill with the same d.iS6^S6 John Berry, a negro charged witn stealing cotton in south Iredell, has been placed in jail here to await su perior court. Berry w'as arrested in Mecklenburg county and sent to jail in default of $200 bond. ■ Dr. Robert K. Bingham, son or Mrs. N. A.

"The Increase in missionary giving Ic 21 societies, since 1901, amounts to $6,929,488, a considerable propor tion of it in recent years. Some de- nomlnatlojial statistics are Baptist, advanced from $981,000 to $1,681,000; Congregational,. from' $1,401,000 to $1,777,088; DiRClples from $461,000 to $943,000; Episcopal from $697,370 to 11,107,000; Lutheran, from $251,000 to $612,000; MethodiBts from $1,894,227 to It ,972,000 (September and October eettmated); Presbyterian, from $1, 681,000 to $2,911,000, and Reformed Church, Dutch branch, from $259,600 t) lwl.000.” In ^ this same connection ^e great work uiMlertaken by the Men andjffce- ligion Forward Movement can not be overlooked. Our own city has lined up { with the movement for the Christianiz ing of the men and boys of the country, and even though the movement is young, remarkable BuccesB has crown ed the efforta of its leaders. Head- quartefB for the work in the Carollnas will be In Charleston, and it is even- ' tually hoped to have all Christian bod- ifi* in all tba town* and cities of these states actively Interested in the great work of saving the boys and men of Special to The News. New York, Nov. 8.—At the Ameri can^ Land and Irrigation Exposition, which opened at Madison Square Gar den Friday, there are displays of farm and orchard products from every portion of the United States and from Canada, but none excels the exhibit from the Southern states made by the Southern hallway system w^hlcn has expended several thousand dol lars in collecting material for exhlx- it purposes from all parts of the ter ritory served by its lines. The Southern Railway’s booth is sixtv feet long and the arrangement of the exhibit is most tasteful and at tractive. There are exhibits of cotton, tobacco, the grains, grasses and for age crops, sugar cane, and all kinds of garden truck and all kinds of gar den truck and an unusually fine fruit display. The walls are covered by a large map of the South, sheaves ot grain and grasses, a score of large colored photographs of typical Soutn- ern firm, field and orchard views. There are a half dozen tables of the Southern apples; which will convince all who see them that the Southern apple growing districts are surpassed by none. Spccial literature has been prepared for circulation at the exposi tion telling of the Southeastern states and especially for their farm lands and products. As a souvenir there is a beautiful album of twelve views. Each day an illustrated lecture on the Southeast is delivered by M. A. Hayp, of the Land and Industrial de partment of the Southern Railway. For this lecture 150 new colored slides have been made. The lecture covers the industries, the agricultur al resources and developments, tne scenic attractions, the resort centers of the Southeastern states, gives char- asteristica of Southern life and tells about the wide variety of opportuni ties found in this section. Among the various topics taken up from day to day are scenes and descriptions of the attractive cities and towns and sections travelers m^y see in a jour ney through the Piedmont, mountain and coast distrlfcts.; where the North- ern people go in w’inter to rest and play, theg reat summer resort re gions of the South; farms and farm ing in the old and new South^; where the largest yields of corn are made; the wealth of grasses and forage plants, the alfalfa districts; how the cheapest beef and' pork are produc ed; the building up of the dairy in dustry; the story of the apple and peach districts from Virginia to Mis sissippi, wh^ the fruit growers from the North and West are eoming South to secure chpap orchard lands; the cotton industry from the planting to the weaving, what the cotton crop means to the planter and to tbe South; the great tobacco districts; the boys clubs; and success of North ern farmers in the South. TO REPAIR MACADAm ROADS. Special to The New’s. Statesville, Nov. 8.—At their meet ing yesterday the county commission ers decided to organize at once a re pair force to be put to work on the macadam roads of the countj. Ihe force is to be equipped with what ever road machinery is necessary and w'ill be operated under the direction of Chairman Mills and Engineer Fal- lis The county has a lot of macadam road which is badly in need of re pair and there has been a clamor^ for a reoair force for some time, llie eight'road forces at w'ork throughout the cotmty under the provisions ot the $400,000 bond issue will build sand clay roads except at places where macadam is considered abso lutely necessary. It has been thor oughly demonstrated throughout the country that sandclay roads are best and least expensive when properly constructed. The county board of education was also in session yesterday and ordered special school tax elections in two districts, the special tax to J^e voted on being 20 cents on the $100 and 60 cents on the poll. There are now nearly thirty special school tax districts,in the county and as a re sult there are better school buildings and longer terms.

The World And Its Troubles The grafters go on grafting and the bribers bribe away; The bosses still grow fatter and the people have to pay; Men with schemes that are unfair. Keep on thriving everywhere. But the world goes on contriving to get better day by day. The thugs are busy shooting, and the gangster’s arm is strong; The men we choose for office are in clined to wink at wrong; Though we do our best to drive Out the crooks and thieves, they thrive. But the world keeps bravely getting somewhat better right along. The rich lawbreakers calmly keep pur suing the old game; They are ever busy claiming what they have no right to claim; They take tribute day by day And the public has to pay, , But the world, with all its troubles, keeps improving just the same- The insurance agent has more trou bles than anybody else, still he is willing to offer himself,,a willing sa;c- rlfice upon the altar of “More busi ness.” You can get the best Insurance on the market, at Insurance headquar- C.N.
